Request to modify postgres model to use timezone-aware timestampz

[spring-projects-issues]

Gary P Russo opened BATCH-2734 and commented

To avoid any dependency or conflicts with the client time zone, it is considered a best practice to use Postgres TIMESTAMPZ instead of TIMESTAMP.

The postgres table creation script is currently using the TIMESTAMP data type.

FTR, an attempt was made to implement this in #4209. Due to the issues that popped up in that attempt, this feature is delayed to a future version.

Closing this for the reasons explained in #4209.
